Slowly, inexorably growing from underground indie troubadours to the powerful but forlorn voice of a grown-up generation, The National is a band with a very clear, heartfelt message and a sound that is part social angst and part personal longing. With the release of their latest CD, High Violet, the National have locked up their place in the music world with songs that are searingly honest and heart-achingly real.
